SEC 3-point shooting

[anon1758050382]

We have struggled against teams that shoot and defend the 3-point line. We have had success against teams that don't.

[SEC games only stats]

6 losses:

team	3P%	Opposing 3P%
Kentucky	.407	.314
Missouri	.376	.337
Auburn	.375	.278
Alabama	.368	.306
Florida	.358	.299
Tennessee	.327	.321
combined	.368	.310

6 wins:

team	3P%	Opposing 3P%
Ole Miss (x2)	.348	.308
Vanderbilt	.324	.410
Georgia	.288	.311
South Carolina (x2)	.286	.384
combined	.314	.349

6 remaining:

team	3P%	Opposing 3P%
Alabama	.368	.306
Oklahoma	.349	.319
Texas	.306	.350
Arkansas	.305	.345
Texas A&M	.301	.346
LSU	.295	.348
combined	.321	.336

I'll probably regret saying this, but I like the following matchups: Texas, Arkansas, Texas A&M, and LSU

 

[MSUDC11-2.0]

That A&M game on Tuesday has a chance to be gross. Both teams in the 50s or 60s kind of game.

You imply Oklahoma is maybe not a good matchup, perhaps that’s true but they are also 3-9 in SEC play and just lost at home to LSU. And they’re at Florida on Tuesday so probably going to be 3-10 when we see them. Feel like we are better than them and that’s a game we should win if we play decently.

Yeah, I'm definitely not conceding the Oklahoma game, but looking at the metric I highlighted, their 3-point numbers (offense and defense) are more in line with our losses than our wins. It's also a road game.

Another way to put it: I like our chances in Fayetteville more than Norman.

Data driven hot takes. This is what we need.

Thanks for sharing.

OU's biggest prob is rebounding (they'll prob grab a season high next sat.)

Sometimes it’s really that simple. We don't defend the 3 well. Need bricks from our opponents on the wide open looks we give. Looks like we could potentially go 4-2 though based only off that one stat!

I said this right before we beat A&M and then lost to Oklahoma and Alabama. If we win our final three games, I will start telling people I know ball.

We're national champs if we can somehow convince the NCAA to remove the 3 point line.

In conference only games, 32% is the mid point of what teams are shooting from 3. Half the league shoots over 32%, the other half shoots below 32%.

We are 2-8 against teams shooting over 32% from 3 in conference play (Ole Miss x2 is the outlier)

We are 5-0 against teams shooting below 32% from 3 in conference play.

LSU, Texas, and Arkansas are all shooting under 32% from 3 in conference play.

yea anything less than a 3-0 finish would be a disappointment in my eyes. I give us some leeway on Arkanasas in Arkansas b/c its on the road and they may be playing for their season....but these 3 games are games good teams win.... and we need a solid stretch... also 10-8 in conference play sure looks better than 9-9.

My mentality is win the next two at home, no questions asked, and then let’s read the terrain in a week to determine what we need from Arkansas + SEC Tourney.
